The Local Iranian Shul

Filed under: Torah — cyberdov @ 5:00 pm

I just found out about a shul literally above my head (on the 12th floor of my office building – I’m on the 11th) housed at Studio One, an Iranian Jewish Garment District company. Mincha daily at 4:00, so I inaugurated the new month of Tammuz by attending.

Play the Video.

They have a dedicated room, large and well lit, with a full size aron kodesh, library, and shul furniture.

In addition to plebian Ashkenazic siddurim, they have siddurim translated into Farsi.

Fascinating experience – I think I will be a regular.
